This was just what was needed.  For future reference for me and 
others.  Here are steps:

FCOPY FROM=GOODSUBF;TO=NEWSUBF;SUBSET=0,0;NEW
FILE NEWSUBF;ACC=APPEND
FCOPY FROM=BADSUBF;TO=*NEWSUBF;NOUSERLABELS

Not sure which has more dust, the brain or the FCOPY manual.

Thanks for the quick response John.
